Chapter 243 Rewarding the Troops

Radek was on the shore, and he could see a little light on the river in the darkness.

As the boat approached the shore, wooden boxes were soon dragged down.

One of the boxes was lifted in front of Radek, and the accompanying officer skillfully opened the box, pushed aside the straw on the top, and revealed the goods inside.

Under the light of the fire, the goods reflected a cold luster.

Radek's eyes seemed to be bright and dark under the light of the fire.

"Keep it well and return it to the warehouse as soon as possible."

After saying that, he no longer waited and turned to leave.

This really made him envious, the North is different now.

A baron's son actually has today, but he is still struggling.

Unbalanced.

...

The Northern Principality!!!

With the establishment of the Principality, the first to stretch out its claws was the Locke Kingdom, and then its claws were chopped off and it retracted in pain.

In fact, the Holy Cross Kingdom did not stop its actions.

Unfortunately, the church and the royal family were tug-of-war, ruining the best opportunity.

Some people may find it strange that the threat from the Northern Duchy is so great. Are King Bruno and the Pope fools?

In fact, it is not strange. The meat-eaters have already made a final conclusion.

Sometimes the middle and lower classes can see things clearly, but they can see them clearly. It is just because of their position and habit.

Both King Bruno and the Pope know that the threat from the Northern Duchy is huge, but once they want to do something, they must consider the threat from each other.

Then there are a series of transactions and compromises, and finally the result is slowly obtained.

In the end, the Locke Kingdom has been defeated for a while, and they finally reorganized an army and prepared to cause some trouble for the Northern Duchy.

At this time, the pressure in the south suddenly decreased, and part of the second-line army began to turn to the west.

In addition to the Augusta Knights who were already on the front line, plus a bunch of troops responsible for the attack before, they were not afraid of the Holy Cross Kingdom at all.

Derek even returned to the front line from Swan Castle again, arriving with a large amount of supplies.

During this year, the army hardly rested, and kept fighting, defending, and fighting again.

The tense nerves have reached an extremely exaggerated level.

The short break in the middle can't relieve much pressure.

But this is what you have to go through to rise up. If you carry it back, you will have a bright future.

Derek didn't just shout slogans. As soon as he arrived at the front line, he summoned all the officers.

Except for the officers on duty on the front line, everyone was called to the central army tent.

"Everyone, the establishment of the Northern Principality is all thanks to your hard work. Everyone has worked hard this year," Derek bowed first, then opened the box beside him: "I once said that we share happiness and difficulties.

The title and the future, these will not be less, but they are too far away.

But the silver coins are in front of us, and I am here to distribute money to everyone today.

The winter solstice is approaching, and the New Year is not far away. This year, everyone will enjoy the benefits of the new Principality."

Loyalty and honor also need to be rewarded.

Derek never believed in eternal loyalty, he has seen a lot.

Even the first batch of soldiers who followed him, some people were disloyal.

Either give enough money, or give enough honor, or both.

The data panel is just an auxiliary. If it really makes people angry, they would have been tied up and sent to the guillotine.

Look, when they saw the white silver coins in front of them, all the knights and officers were all smiling.

This is not only money, but also the recognition of the Duke.

Maybe a few people don't like money, but most people can't ignore these little cuties.

What tiredness disappeared instantly.

"Long live the Duke, I will overthrow Bruno's throne for you, and you should sit on it."

"Overthrow the Pope, the Duke ascends the throne."

Sure enough, the charm of money is infinite.

"Stay tonight, I will treat you to wine and meat," Derek did not shy away, hugged the happy knight, and was very close: "Drinking is prohibited from tomorrow."

Opening and relaxing is the kingly way.

That night, Derek drank all night with his knights and officers.

The seemingly absurd behavior quickly brought them closer.

The Duke can be high and mighty, but he must not be unable to bend down.

If he really separated from these knights and officers, he would not be far from being driven down.

Rewarding the officers was only the first step. In the next few days, Derek began to inspect the various armies without stopping.

The first stop was the Barbarian Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment from Melgen Province.

If you want to integrate into the barbarians, the first thing to do is to eliminate the barriers.

There is nothing better than the army to bring people closer together.

Although the Barbarian Corps is still stationed in Melgen Province, some infantry regiments have been dispersed to various places, becoming a new landscape.

Derek arrived with roasted pork and silver coins, and the Barbarian Infantry Regiment, which was notified temporarily, assembled urgently.

In half a quarter of an hour, everyone appeared in front of Derek fully armed.

The head of the infantry regiment had just drunk wine with Derek yesterday, and it was no longer easy to meet again today.

Fortunately, no one dropped the chain.

Derek inspected the rows, which was generally very good. It can be seen that he did not slack off in his usual training.

Even if he occasionally sees some minor flaws, he won't find fault with them.

For example, if the straps of the armor were not fastened, he would tie them up himself and warn: "Pay attention to the details. If the armor falls off on the battlefield, you will lose your life."

Many soldiers of the Barbarian Infantry Regiment met Derek for the first time. They all held their heads high, excited and nervous.

For them, the Duke changed everyone's fate.

Liberated them from the poor and hungry tribe, so that the barbarians had enough food and their families had a future.

Although it was not perfect, and although fighting was also life-threatening, there was a present and a future to look forward to, which was enough.

The morale of the Barbarian Infantry Regiment was also unexpectedly the highest.

Derrick returned to the front row and shouted loudly: "No more nonsense, share the money and meat, and then kill the Holy Cross people with me."

It's useless to preach to the barbarian soldiers. It's better to be direct.

"Long live!!! Long live!!! Long live!!!"

Thousands of people shouted, shaking the mountains and forests, and birds flying into the sky.

After having lunch with the barbarian soldiers, Derek took a detour and continued his patrol.

The troops on the front line of the Holy Cross cheered from time to time, and the morale of each army was visibly improved.

The Holy Cross Kingdom army on the other side was very nervous, and they thought that the crazy people of the Northern Principality were going to do something again.

No one realized that Duke Leopold was visiting the troops on the front line.

Otherwise, if someone was brave enough, he might have made an unprecedented achievement.
